I t,oind the enemy posted on the heights N E .nf the town, to oppose my advance, their Jett . flaetk restint; on it, and sup p or t e d by_ two guns and three In the furry. An immediate tiis posit,On for attack was made ; 1 advanced in . two coluntns of infantry, guns in the centre, and ca valry on the left. Immediately on the columns advancing, a sharp cannonade was opened from their two guns oa the heights, and the enentyt , s cavalry sheaving themselves in front and on the right of their position. I directed the cavalry to move on at a btisk pace, and endeavour to turn their flank anti cut o ff their retreat ; this was ably pertortned by Chambers, who immediately, charged, and completely routed and pursued them with great slaughter. The light column of in fantry was directed to storm the guns in the gutty and town. The artillery ofAhe brigade opened a very well-,dbected fire on their Eton!, which. having Silenced their guns, the left column moved on to attack them in trout. The desertion of the cavalry had, however, communicated a panic to their infantry, who, on the advance of the t columns under Ma ors Richards and:Bowen, fled in all directions ? abandoning the whole of their guns and much baggage, which 'has fallen htto our hands. The loss of the enemy has been se vere ; it may be estimated at froni 300 to 400 killed and wounded ; two Sirdars, Veer I<lcmt~- dee, and . Juggeradge Sing, are among the slain. I regret to say our loss exceeds what I yesterday reported, but the returns from corps and detach ments had not then reached rue (8). I beg leave to 'inform von, that the cool and steady discipline . of : the whole of the troops . was sucn as w IIICtt kny, highest approbation. I haVe the honour to he, &c.

Copy of a IThpateh from Brigadier-General Smith to the Ho nourable Mr. Elphinstone, dated Camp, Sattara, 12th Fe- _ bruary, 1818. Six,—My last Report to you was dated the 7th ultimo from, Seroor, when I was preparing to follow up the enemy to the southward, or to support Brigadier-General Pritsler's inn that duty. The .I!eishwa's army continued in that direction across the Kistnah, and was followed by Brigadier- General I'ritzler. On the 21st ult. I heard of his having re crossed that river, and of his arrival at Utny (10, on which I accordingly marched rapidly: his Highness then imme diately returned, as if to draw me coi the same side of the river, and he then kept a westerly direction towards Kur rar (12), and thence to northward by this place till he de scended the Salpee•Ghaut (13) on the 30th ult. when I bad gained upon him considerably. During my marches, which were madeto the very utmost exertions of my light division, I was considerably harassed by the enemy's cavalry, which ap peared more numerous than usual. The enemy constantly refused front even to our smallest parties of infantry, but he often pressed the rear-guard, which occasioned a few casual ties in •slight wounds from' distant rnatehlocks; a return of which is transmitted herewith. Having had your instructions to form a junction near this place with Brigadier-General Pritzler's division, fur the purpose of interchanging troops for pursbit and siege services, I solicited your permission to reduce Sa h ara_ while - this.operation • was arcomplishing. I accordingly reconnoitred it on the 9th instant, and marched upon it the fallowing day, when, after stlmnioning it, and de siring Lietitenanteolonel Dalrymple, the senior Artillery Of ficer of the too divisions, to throw a few light shells into it until regular batteries could he taken np, the Killedar agreed to.surrender the fort on his being permitted to march away with hiS garrison unmolested, and can yipg away their arms.. The garrison consisted only of about 400 !,ebundy truops,who seemed so little disposed to use their arms on this occasion, that it was,innnatcrial what became of them hereafter, while tune was' very valuable to one ; I therefore allowed them these terms, and hating taken possession of the fort, the Ra jah's flag was established there yesterday :loon, agreeably to your instructions, and his palace and property have been pre served for him. _ . About 45 pieces of ordnance of different calibres, with a few swivels, gingals, and rockets, were taken in the fort, cor rect returns of which will be forwarded hereafter. Sattara is strong, and as the ancient seat of the Mahratta empire, carries great consequence with it in the estimation and prejudices of the natives, and may therefore prove of greater value to us.in the war against the Peishwa, than in its mere local importance.

Copy of a Dispatch from Brigadier-General Smith, C.B. com manding the 4th Division of the Army of the Deccan, to the Honourable Mountstnart Elphinstone, the Res:dent at the . Court - ,of the Peishwa, dated Camp, Kurkumb, Yttt February, 1818. Ste,--My letter to your address, under date of the 12th inst. went to acquaint you with the operations of the troops under my command up to that period. The enemy, after tracing been pursued through the range of (;Hants, on which Sattara is situated, marched by Pauderpoor to Solapoor, (15), on the Seena, where he remained during the time I was oc cupied at Sattara, and for some days longer. I proceeded. gradually upon Punderpoor on the 13th instant, with the light, intending to avoid forced marches till I approached the enemy within 25 or 3d suites.. Yellapoor, the day be fctre yestil*day, 1 had been informed of his quitting Solapoor, and of his tuo7ing in a westerly direction, which determined me to make night March, in liopes of coming upon him • • near runderpoor. On the route, linakereri trergivretinfor minion of his having turned tipOn lcurltunth (t 6), to which I immediately changed a v route, alsol crossed the Bheenta, at Karnuld"(l7), near Goorsul!a, and i now heard that the `Ptishwa had eneatircied the preCedint4. evening near Aslita, and I immediate 1y pushed on with all tht-caval‘y, horse artil lery, and gailopt Nly intelligence . was confirmed, and my hopes consaleral,ty raised Manditpuor (18), when I heard t enemy WiAS only then preparing to move from Ashta, and at ahout half-punt eight o'clock yesterday morning, we had the satislation of distinctly hearing their nagai as beating be low a hill %%iiieh covered us fruit, their view. _ It seems, however, they tied sortie information of our ap proach, but not in sufficient time to enable them to avoid its without losing their baggage; in these cirtartistanees, GAla kiols• the resolution of risking - an action. As we deseetided the hill, seesaw one body rather near us, is mass, to the number of between two and three. tiorhsand, and the number of streamers impl itil the presence uf Si rdars. .Th e ground was so rocky and uneven, I hardly • expected to be able to bring any guns into action, but directed them to keep on the nearest road, re:NV to turn as required. The two s l uath•ons of his Majesty's /id Dragootas formed the centre column, and were directed to attack t he enemy's centre, the 7th Light Ca valry were in column oil the right, and the 2 i Light Cavalry was the left culinitu. We elesce:tded the hilt in this order _upon the enemy, who sood very firmond after forming squa drons I ordered the whole to charge ; the enemy not only contitmed hum, but advanced to meet . each charge with great spirit ; he had, however, availed himself of a nulla, and very difliCult . ground •to receive our attack, and while the light squadron of the 7th 9avalt y was engaging twider this disad vantage, some of the enciuy got conlid their right flank and rear, and at first created it little contusion ; as they passed the resar :old left of the 7th'Cavally, Major Dawes, of the 522i1 Dragoons, with admirable presence of mind, threw back a troop of that regiment, which immediately charged and broke, them, and they were afterwards met and suffered za•so by a troop of the 2d 7 Light Cavalry, which Major Walker had also prepared for them. Captain Pierce, of the Horse Artillery, had, indeed, with his usual exertion and zeal, and notwithstanding the rely nu favourable rtatme of the ground, contrived to get one gun in position to protect the right Hank of the 7th Cavalry, and had the enemy in my power in a solid mass within half range of grape ; but as this would have impeded the charge, and obliged hint to dispense without a trial with our cavalry,which he. now seeked willing to give, and which all our corps so much wished for, I kept the gun in reserve. The charge of the two stoadrons of the 22d Dragoons pe netrated through the mass, and did great execution. •Bapoo Gokla, the Chief of the Mahiatta army, fell ratty, and fight ing bravely to the last. This event, I have little Aught, has tened the flight of this body, which afterwards endeavoui ed to form in a still larger one, that was covered iH low ground be yond the village of.Ashta, and out of our view from thi first scene of action.. These were also immediately charged by the 2.2 d Dragoons as they name up, and the whole being routed and pursued, sod brought our-troops upon the enemy's baggage and followers. I have infinite satisfaction in reporting, that the Sattaia Rajah, his brothers and mother, were in these circum stances rescued and brought safe iotoour camp, to tlicir great satisfaction and joy. I calculate the loss of the enemy at between two and three hundred men, and besides pokla, ano ther Sirdar of distinction , „ said to he Naito° Punt isptey, was killed. The Peishwa abandoned his palanquin early, and took to horse, and I regret exceedingly his person could not have been secured ; •but the troops had marched nearly 30 miles before this affair commenced, and the pursuit and return. (nearly 16 wiles more), exhausted the horses. Twelve el4tiants, 57 ca mels, several palanquins and afraubgurs, and a few horses, fell into our hands. I inclose a copy of the Orders which convey my sentiments on the conduct °Utile troops, and also a Zia of the killed and wounded; and I cannot close a dispatch wLlch may claim some interest, without bestowing the praise justly due to the Staff. I have been greatly and cheerfully assisted in all my duties by Capt. 'Covey, the Deputy Adjutant-General, and .by Capt. Mayne, the Deputy Quarter-Master-Geneial, Officers well experienced in their departments, and of valuable profes sional acquirements. 'You are already aware that. although I had taken the precaution of forming a considerable grain depot, from the general aspect of affairs with the Peishwa's Government, his sudden treachery prevented my obtaining timely carriage for it with the army. The good arrangement, foresight, and assiduity of Major Hall, the Deputy Commis sary-General, greatly overcame this and other difficulties, and I owe it to that Officer to state my sense of his abilities had services in that important department. The Paymaster of the Forces, Captain :fames ; the Commissary of Stores, Capt. Griffiths, of the Bombay Artillery ; and the Medical Branch, under Mr. Superintending Surgeon Phillips, are entitled also to my earnest praise, in always keeping their-departments in perfect arrangement and efficiency. The Officers of my per sonal Staff, Captain flardeastle, Lieutenants Place and liellamore, have been most active and zealous in their du- , ties, and deserve the public expression of my grateful ac knowledgments. I have not been able to trace the course of the Peishwa's flight, or can I follow bias till I have disposed of the Rajah's family in Poonah ; and as he has made earnest intreaties for an early interview with you, I beg you, if possible, to meet use on my route there, that I may the sooner proceed again in quest of the enemy. I have the (langur to be, &c. • . LIONEL SMITH, Brig.-Gen. P.S. A third Sirtlar was found killed, supposed to be the Balla Rajah. LIONEL SMITH. (Inclosed in the preceding.)

The Commander-in-Chief has much satisfaction in an nouncing to the army the receipt, on the 15th instant, of a duplicate of dispatches front Brigadier-General Doveton, commanding the 2d division of the army of, the Deccan, con taining the official details of that Officer's operations on the 16th ultimo, against-the troops of the Rajah of Berar, in the vicinity of the city of Nagpore. The original copy of this gratifying communication never having reached head-quarters, the Commander-in-Chief has been hitherto prevented from publishing to the army the sen timents- of his applause' and appronat ion, which it wbuld have been his Excellency's duty, no less than his inclination, im mediately to have conveyed to .Brigadien-General Doveton, and the gallant troops under his command. • The Brigadier-General reached Nagpore, with the division under his orders, on the lath nit , after a rapid and fatiguing march, and formed a junction with the detachment of ti►e sth.division already there ; having refreshed his troops during the 14th and 15th, he prepared to attack the enemy on the morning of the 16th, which was accordingly done, and the manner in which this important service has been achieved reflects the highest credit upon the judgment and professional talents of the gallavit Officer who commanded, as well as upon ti►e discipline and determined valour of the excellent troops who so nobly carried into erect the able and well-judged plans of.their General. - The Commander-in-Chief .eordially concurs in the expres sions of approbation conveyed in the Brigadier-General's Dis patch, of the distinguished conduct of Lientenant-Colonels Mac Leod, Scott, Gahan, Mackellar, and Crosdill, command ing brigades; of Major Mont and Captain Webster, com manding corps of cavalry; and of Lieutenant-Colonels Stew art and Fraser, and Majors Pereira, Pollock, ..Mac Donal!, Weldon, Macbean, and Garner, commanding corps of artil lery and infantry ; as well as to Lieutenants Poggenpohl and Hunter, of the horse artillery; and to these Officers his Excellency desires to offer his thanks and praise for their able and gallant exertions, as described by Brigadier-General Doveton. To Major Mac Lend, and the Officers of the General Staff, to Captains Norglin and Edmonds, on the personal Staff of the Brigadier-General, and to the other Staff Officers, the Commander-in-Chief's acknowledgments s are most justly due for their able Conduct and zealous exertions, in the action on thu 16th December. His Excellency desires particularly to express the high sense he entertains of the eunspicuous exertions,. aura well directed ability which have been so eminently displayed in the conduct of Lieutenant Davies, senior Engineer , to whom he oilers his best thanks and applause. His Excellency also notices with feelings of the highest ad miration the conduct of-Lieutenant Bayley, who, although labouring under .a severe wound received o❑ the memorable 2Gth November, volunteered his services with the Brigadier- General on the IGth ult. and has again proved his well-earned• title to the warmest acknowledgments and praise. of the Com mander-in-Chief. The Commander-in-Chief has also received dispatches from General I)oveton, detailing his operations subsequent to the tt3th ult. the successful termination of which on the 30th ult. by the capitulation of the city of Nagpore, his Excellency has already had the gratification of announcing to the army in General Orders of the stli instant (24). The city, it. appears, was defended by 5,000 Hindostanee troops, and 3,000 Arabs, strongly posted in the palace of the Rajah, and other stone buildings in the town ;—the arrange ments made by Brigadier-Ghteral Dovcton for their expul sion, and the gallantry, steadiness, and discipline (Attie t Temps in the attack of the 24th ult. are entitled to the Commander . - In-Chief's grateful - acknowledgments; and he desires that the expression of his unqualified praise and approbation of the conduct of the troops employed throughout the operations against Nagpore, may be communicated aud'particUlarly'ex plained to them all.
